If your 2013 Ford Escape doesn't start after refueling, the likely culprit could be vapor lock. This occurs when fuel vapors move through the lines and could block the engine. While more common in the past, vapor lock can still occur in newer vehicles, even with modern fuels. The best remedy is to allow the pressure to dissipate by letting the vehicle sit. To prevent vapor lock, fill the gas tank slowly to prevent fuel from vaporizing.

When you insert the pump into the gas tank, does it make a "burping" sound or feel pressurized? If it does, it might be a problem with the evaporation system, possibly the purge valve. This component is specific to mechanics, so it's recommended to have a professional take a look at it. If you have a mechanic who charges reasonably, the repair should cost a couple of hundred dollars.
